I feel it should be used for at risk and troubled youth to learn structure and respect. As well as good morals and principals. There have been more people who were in disadvantaged or violent and unstable environment that learned more about themselves, community, country, and morals through joining the military and it has ultimately saved their or changed their lives for the better.

Some people are not physically capable of doing so. For others, its just not something they want to do or important to them. Therefore, they should not be forced to.

 @9FZBWXY from California disagreed…7mos7MO

I don't think anyone should have to join the military. I think that having someone that doesn't actually want to join it will just bring others down with them since they don't even want to be there.

 @9FZC9NC from California disagreed…7mos7MO

The military is effective for troubled people, however mandatory military service shouldn't be enforced for everyone because its a hard life, such as boot camp. Not only physical but mentally as well.

I don't think anyone should be forced to mandatory Military Service, because if there is a war going on, they can die very easily and people can also make mistakes like doing small crimes and they can be sentenced to mandatory military service.

 @9FLMCQLPeace and Freedom from Indiana disagreed…7mos7MO

I do believe that there should be a choice. Either put criminals in prison or make them serve under extreme supervision.

 @9GK5NCR  from New York agreed…6mos6MO

Mandatory military service can be serving in the military, but it could also be constructing military gear, being part of the corps engineer, or fixing historical events and accuracy.

 @9FJ8Y2H from Alabama disagreed…7mos7MO

they should be forced only if they would serve a long time in jail, such a 20 years to a life time because if all went then most that dont have that much of a criminal record might have their sentence, and life cut short with much to live for. they also are probably not trustable in the long run.

 @9H4ZVFC from Nebraska agreed…5mos5MO

I think that people who have a criminal record should have mandatory military service to try and flip their life around and use the military to their benefit.

According to a study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research, young adults who participate in military service have lower rates of criminal behavior compared to those who don't serve. This suggests that the military can have a positive impact on individuals who may be at risk of getting involved in criminal activities.

Furthermore, a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that nearly 60% of Republicans support mandatory military service. However, it's important to note that this survey didn't specifically address the question of whether it should be limited to those with a criminal record. Nonetheless, it does show that there is a significant portion of the Republican base who believe in the value of mandatory military service.

 @9GH2QGM from Florida disagreed…6mos6MO

If you give people with criminal records mandatory military services they can become more dangerous.

 @9GGW358 from Virginia disagreed…6mos6MO

Even if someone is starting to build a criminal record why would we force them into the military that would give them training to fight and use a gun.
